Wash the Shower Curtain Liner Get rid of the mildew build up easily by tossing your shower curtain liner into the washing machine. Add bleach or vinegar and run it through a cycle. It’s much easier than scrubbing it clean in the bathtub. Clean the Grocery Bags Every so often, be sure to clean the reusable shopping bags you drag from the car to the store and back home again. Many of them can go straight through a wash cycle in the washing machine. Others may need to be wiped down with soap and water in the sink. Pull the Stove Knobs While you’re tackling appliances, pull the knobs off your stove and oven so you can clean beneath them. Put them in the silverware tray of the dishwasher for a thorough wash.
Renew Wood Cooking Aids Wooden salad bowls, spoons, and cutting boards start to show wear from exposure to water and heat. Renew your wood accessories with a food grade mineral oil you can pick up online or at a home store. You can also use it on wood furniture and butcher block countertops. Curtain Renew If you simply want to knock the dust off your curtains, take them down and toss them into the clothes dryer on the air only/no heat cycle. Rehang them promptly at the end of the cycle so they don’t gather wrinkles. Bedding Basics Sleep well knowing your bed is clean. In addition to washing everything from your blankets to your mattress cover, vacuum your mattress and spin it to a different position for even wear. Flip it over if you don’t have a pillowtop version. Also, read the labels on your pillows and clean accordingly.
